ECG interpretation: Characteristics of the normal ECG (P ... - ECG …
At the heart of ECG interpretation lies the ability to determine whether the ECG waves and intervals are normal. This chapter will focus on the ECG waves in terms of morphology (appearance), durations and intervals.

2024年10月8日 · ECG features of normal sinus rhythm. Regular rhythm at a rate of 60-100 bpm (or age-appropriate rate in children) Each QRS complex is preceded by a normal P wave. Normal P wave axis: P waves upright in leads I and II, …
QRS complex - Wikipedia
The QRS complex is the combination of three of the graphical deflections seen on a typical electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG). It is usually the central and most visually obvious part of the tracing. It corresponds to the depolarization of the right and left ventricles of the heart and contraction of the large ventricular muscles.
The QRS complex: ECG features of the Q-wave, R-wave, S ... - ECG …
The QRS complex (ventricular complex): normal and abnormal configurations and intervals. A complete QRS complex consists of a Q-, R- and S-wave. However, all three waves may not be visible and there is always variation between the leads. Some leads may display all waves, whereas others might only display one of the waves.
3. Characteristics of the Normal ECG - University of Utah
The normal QRS axis range (+90° to -30° ); this implies that the QRS be mostly positive (upright) in leads II and I. Normal q-waves reflect normal septal activation (beginning on the LV septum); they are narrow (<0.04s duration) and small (<25% the amplitude of the R wave).
How to interpret the ECG: A systematic approach
Sinus rhythm (which is the normal rhythm) has the following characteristics: (1) heart rate 50–100 beats per minute; (2) P-wave precedes every QRS complex; (3) the P-wave is positive in lead II and (4) the PR interval is constant.

QRS Interval • LITFL • ECG Library Basics
2023年8月14日 · Normal QRS width is 70-100 ms (a duration of 110 ms is sometimes observed in healthy subjects). The QRS width is useful in determining the origin of each QRS complex (e.g. sinus, atrial, junctional or ventricular). Narrow complexes (QRS < …

2011年2月28日 · What is a normal adult heart rate? Normal: 60-100 bpm; Tachycardia: > 100 bpm; Bradycardia: < 60 bpm; Regular heart rhythm. If a patient has a regular heart rhythm, their heart rate can be calculated using the following method: Count the number of large squares present within one R-R interval. Divide 300 by this number to calculate heart rate.
